Students deepen their understanding of plane and solid geometric shapes and properties by constructing shapes that meet given conditions, by identifying attributes of shapes, and by applying geometric concepts to solve problems. Below are links to help you.
3-D Object Viewer - Explore a variety of 3-D objects and their accompanying 2-D views.
Coloring 3-D Sides - [UK spelling on this site] Find the red sides shown in a series of 2-D drawings and click on the right face of the 3-D model to color it red. (20 questions)
Coloring 2-D Sides - Use the colored portion of the 3-D object to color the correct side of the 2-D drawing
Cube - Find out which colors will be on opposite faces of a cube whose faces are shown unfolded.

Guess the View - Students are given a 3-D view of an object and then given a 2-D view of the object. Students must choose which of 6 views is being displayed from a list.
Plot Plans and Silhouettes - Your task is to come up with plot plans that would match given silhouettes.
Quick Images - Stretch both your visualization and drawing muscles with this shape drawing activity.
Rotating Houses - 3-D figures created with blocks can be rotated and flipped using a mouse. The figure must be rotated until it matches a 2-D representation of one of the views.
